Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. Because we're already talking to partners about the project, and we'll soon be working with the open source community, we wanted to share our vision now so everyone understands what we are trying to achieve.
Since there are no Native applications, they are all treated as if they are hostile. Similar to the Chrome browser, different tabs (apps in this case) are locked down and separated by sandboxing. So unlike a regular OS, where applications can quite easily harm your machine, apps on Chrome will have a tough time trying to do any damage.
